LetвЂ™s convert a test MP3 вЂ“ I chose to replace 26.ADX, the battle music, with the Persona 3 Reincarnation Mass Destruction remix вЂ“ to WAV then to ADX, replace the original file, andвЂ¦Д®rr, okay, IвЂ™ll re-save BGM.CVM and reopen it then.Дrat. LetвЂ™s start small and try replacing one of the songs. (Trivia: the Persona 4 BGM.CVM contains the entire Persona 3 soundtrack, though most of it goes unused.)

I still have no idea where вЂњTHEME.ADXвЂќ plays. There are also a lot of seemingly unused files in here, including little slices of some of the songs. You can open them up with DkZ StudioвЂ™s built-in ADX player or VLC to hear them.ДЄll of the gameвЂ™s music is stored inside this вЂњBGM.CVMвЂќ file. ItвЂ™s entirely ADX files, another file format developed by CRI Middleware! It looks like ADX files hold sound. Luckily, a handy tool by the name of DkZ Studio is like a swiss army knife for this type of thing.

So, weвЂ™re going to need some software to inspect these files. ItвЂ™s basically an ISO file with a special header. The formatвЂ™s also referred to as вЂњCRI ROFSвЂќ (short for вЂњRead Only File System,вЂќ I suspect). So, some вЂњ.CVMвЂќ files, and aвЂ¦вЂќ.21вЂі file? What? After some research, it turns out the вЂњSLUS_*вЂќ file is the gameвЂ™s executable, and the вЂњ.CVMвЂќ files are a format developed by CRI Middleware. ImgBurn has a вЂњCreate Image from DiscвЂќ option вЂ“ pop the disc in the tray, enter a path, and hit the button. Easy enough, since PS2 games donвЂ™t seem to have much in the way of copy protection. So we must acquire a Persona 3 FES disc image. Never touched assembly in my life (still donвЂ™t know what MIPS stands for)ДЇirst, we need the game files.If you just want to use the tool, you can download it on my Misc projects page. This series of articles is a (heavily edited) look at the path I took to create this tool. So I created a tool that allows you to change and add music, randomly selecting between alternates for songs. I wanted to spice it up a little though, since IвЂ™d already seen a friend play through it once before. Now, IвЂ™ve decided to play through Persona 3 FES, the fully-3D PlayStation 2 version.

I originally watched a friend play through the game, then bought Persona 3 Portable to see it through myself. Persona 3 is one of my favorite games of all time.
